Outstanding property!
I stayed at this cottage for five weeks, and it was my favorite lodging of my entire 3-month trip in the UK. The owner, Sandra, has spent years painstakingly restoring this stunning heritage property that was almost in ruins when she bought it. The result is a lovely, tasteful, comfortable cottage that is steeped in literary history. If you are a fan of the BrontĂ«s, this is a must-stay place. My friend and I took turns reading passages from the novel âJane Eyreâ that described the cottage and gardens which were the basis for the Lowood School in the novel. It was truly a remarkable experience. The gardens here are gorgeous. Sandra has a lovely variety of roses, hydrangeas, peonies, and countless others that bloom at different times so you are assured of blooms anytime in the spring/summer. Also raspberries, currants, and gooseberries that ripen in July and make a lovely snack while sipping wine and reading in the garden. It is truly a tranquil botanical paradise. The property itself is very well located within a 3-minute drive of beautiful Kirkby Lonsdale, 10 minutes from the Yorkshire Dales mountainscapes, and 30 minutes to Ambleside and Grasmere in the Lake District. You will need private transportation as the bus system here is scattered and infrequent. And be aware that the property adjoins a major road so traffic noise can be heard, but if you are in the garden or house, itâs not a problem. I highly recommend booking a stay at the BrontĂ« School Cottage. It was the highlight of my trip, and I hope to return soon!
